    Mastercard Minimum 15% Discount For Asia-Pacific Through December 31, 2024

    This was around last year along with the similar VISA offer. It should work off the fully flex rate, so very handy if you do like me and book flex in the hope that a significantly cheaper rate appears closer to your stay - if not, you’ve still saved 15%...

    Seat allocation for Santiago flights on QF metal

    OT, but does the QF seating open up fully at T-80 (or earlier/later)? They have that silly block allocation system between QF and LA that makes it difficult to get decent J seats - even as a WP…😏
